In order to complete a Medicaid application, Florida residents need to include the completed application form along with documents to verify the general and financial coverage requirements. If the application is approved, a letter confirming the eligibility date is mailed, which also includes the amount the person must pay toward the cost of medical care. Continuing eligibility for Medicaid is reviewed each year. The recipient may be asked for supporting documents throughout the year to confirm eligibility.
